Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb chicken breast, diced Ensure the chicken is diced into small pieces for even cooking.
  • 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce Make sure it is halal compliant.
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil For cooking the chicken.
  • 1 small carrot, shredded For added crunch.
  • 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
  • 1 head lettuce (iceberg or butter), leaves separated For wrapping.
  • to taste sesame seeds For garnish.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by dicing the chicken breast into small, bite-sized pieces to ensure even cooking.
Cooking
  1. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced chicken to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until it's browned and cooked through.
  2. Pour in the teriyaki sauce, stirring well to coat the chicken evenly. Let it simmer for an additional 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  3. Toss in the shredded carrot, diced bell pepper, and chopped green onions. Stir for another 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are just tender but still crunchy.
Assembly
  1. Take a lettuce leaf and spoon a generous amount of the teriyaki chicken mixture into the center.
  2. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top for added flavor and presentation. Your Teriyaki Chicken Lettuce Wraps are ready to enjoy!

Notes

If using leftovers, store the teriyaki chicken mixture in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet when ready to serve, and use fresh lettuce leaves for optimal crunch.
